Dear University Community,
Hope you are staying safe and well.
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND) are pleased to announce a series of online courses in the area of Financial Inclusion. These courses are primarily intended for officials from Africa and the Middle East but will offer limited slots from other regions.
All courses are free of charge but subject to a selection process. Slots are limited and we strongly encourage female candidates to apply. A UNITAR-AGFUND Certificate of Completion will be issued to participants who successfully complete all course-related assignments and assessments.

Each course will be moderated by regional and international experts and practitioners who have a wealth of practical experience. This ensures that real-world examples, which facilitate experiential learning, are integrated into the coursework. These experts not only provide the content and documentation, but also work closely with UNITAR to strengthen the pedagogical and practical aspects of the training. Participants have full access to these experts during the course through online communication tools.
